Authorities are accusing a Hemet man of murdering his 5-year-old daughter, his wife (the girl’s step-mother) as well as slashing the throat of a third adult female — an acquaintance — Saturday evening.

Two gunmen walked into a tire store Thursday, said nothing and opened fire, killing two people, police reported. Police credited a good Samaritan, who followed the gunmen in their car, with leading them to the suspects.
